California Senator Bill Morrow continues
to push 2 ill-conceived bills to override resource protection decisions
by Anza Borrego State Park managers. Senate Bill 1338 would re-open a
damaging road through a stream and riparian forest, and SB 1294 would
re-introduce harmful feral horses. Both would occur in Coyote Canyon
near the town of Borrego Springs.

Then-Assemblyman Morrow was cited by park
rangers in the late 1990's for driving his state vehicle off-road past
obvious
closure signs during
a protest against the Coyote Canyon road closure. "No one really
doubts that Morrow's bills have little to do with legitimate lawmaking,
and much to do with revenge against State Park managers," said
Center spokesperson David Hogan.

The bills are now scheduled for hearing by the Senate Natural Resources
and Wildlife Committee on Tuesday, April 13th, 9:30am, Room 112 of
the Capitol.
